Resogun Update Out Tomorrow: Ship Editor, Local Co-op, More Trophies

What up PlayStation Nation! Ian Pickles, Producer at XDEV Studio Europe here with some news regarding the new Resogun update, which will be hitting your PS4 before the end of this weekend.

This update, which is free to all owners of Resogun, lays the ground work for the forthcoming Heroes expansion due next week, which will expand your Resogun experience with new modes, game worlds and more.

In addition to getting you ready for Heroes, we wanted to give everyone something extra to thank you for the amazing support and reception you’ve shown Resogun since release. The guys at Housemarque and us here at XDEV Studio Europe were amazed by the reaction to the game — thank you all so much for getting behind the game.

With that in mind, alongside lots of tweaks, improvements and bug fixes, this free update contains a few special treats from us:

Ship Editor

One of the more requested features we’ve seen since the world got a look at “dem voxels” is the ability to create your own ship. Housemarque listened and created a fully featured Ship Editor for you to play with as part of this free update!

Design your own ship from the ground up using a detailed voxel editor. Position the afterburners and weapons, set your own attributes to govern the ships agility, boost and overdrive, and choose either of the standard weapon sets for your ride.

But that’s not all… what’s a ship editor if you can’t show off your custom rides? We went one step further and fully connected the editor online. Share and download ships from your friends, rivals and the community at large, and try out new ships to see what gives you the edge on the leaderboards.

This really is a massive addition to the game, and one that is going to stir up the competition. Being able to tweak ship attributes means the game is tactically deeper and there are tons of new tricks to make that high score bigger. If you can think of anything better than saving the last humans while piloting a flying ninja unicorn ship then I’d like to hear about it.

We’re really excited to see what you guys come up with in the editor, and we’ll be right there online sharing our own ships.

Local Co-op

Another much-requested feature is local co-op; the good folks at Housemarque have heard you, and they’ve added that to the expansion too.

Moar Trophies

We love a good Trophy set, and we’re really proud that so many of you achieved the Platinum after the game launched. We worked long and hard to make a set that was challenging yet attainable, and we’re thrilled that for many players, Resogun was their first PS4 Platinum.

Because we like Trophies (and because we like to spoil you), we’ve added more of them to not only the forthcoming expansion, but also to this free update!

This is another great reason to come back to the game and improve your score. Again, these have been designed to make you play with the new additions to the game. While challenging, they should be achievable for most of you with a little bit of effort, but if you need a little help we’ll be back in a week or two with an exclusive Trophy guide for both the Heroes Expansion and the Update, created by one of our very own QA team. Keep your eyes on the Blog for that in the near future.

Hall of Fame

Since release, we’ve seen you battling it out for the top scores on the leaderboards. Some players blew our minds in terms of the scores they could achieve, and others… well some surprised us with the discovery of some really sneaky exploits, like this:

And this:

I bet you thought we weren’t watching, huh? ;) So with the huge amount of changes brought about by the editor and assignable attributes to ships, we’ve spent some time ironing out the main game and fixing some of the exploits where we could.

With that in mind we’re left with little option but to clear the leaderboards and start fresh alongside the release of this update. That being said, we didn’t want players’ superhuman efforts to be forgotten, so we’ve added a Hall of Fame Leaderboard to immortalize the original Resogun Heroes. All scores in the Main Hero difficulty leaderboard will be forever displayed here to show future generations the level of skill (and in some cases sneakiness) that was shown by our community in the early months of Resogun.

And with that, I’m out of here. We’ll be back on the Blog in a couple of days with more information about the Heroes Expansion pack. In the meantime, enjoy the update and thanks again for all your support for Resogun.

To all the Heroes, we salute you – now get out there and save the last humans.

awesome. But I don’t really understand how these expoits worked. If they had a lower multiplier how was it possible to rack up so much points? Ohh well guess that’s why it gets patched. Glad to hear new trophies are coming, don’t know if I missed this, but price on DLC?

Speaking as a recovering Resogun addict, I think the player’s multiplier maxes out pretty quickly when activating Overdrive against such a huge mass of enemies. I’ve used the third boss trick, but never to such great effect as shown in that video!

Everything sounds great! Absolutely love this game! I’m glad there fixing the cheats but I feel for the people who have put a lot of time in to there top scores the honest way! Anybody no how many dlc they are planning for the season pass?

This game Resogun is incredible, i love to play this game it’s very addictive and fun. Thank you for making this game Housemarque games i really appreciate it and thanks for the update news i cant wait i’m very excited :)

I’ll be buying the season pass and i’ll add my voice for 3D support. The 3D on Trine 2 on PS4 is Freaking Amazing! Resogun with 3D support on PS4 would be Amazing too! Please consider 3D support. Thank you

Good but I feel reluctant to grab the DLC, this game is too complicated. I almost not get the platinum, if not for a friend who helped me out on Co-Op, although I had to kill the last boss on my own, but still. So I’m guessing a lot of frustration on that new Hero mode and the like…

@Gamerzlimited & Rezznak
It’s just the way Sony is advertising it is off putting to me. Sounds like they are moving towards charging for updates. Might be reading too much into it but really don’t like direction Sony is going. Seems like it should be massive or awesome update not an update for free… like I said it’s off putting.

I’ve only recently begun doing Hero runs for points. I’m world #7 with 9B (world #2 Nemesis). I know I can break 15B, if not 17B, if I have a day to spend. I thought I had a forever… or at the least, until the DLC, which was what I was gunning for, expecting to have a couple more days.

Can I get an exact time? I’m in U.S. Central. I will be going to sleep now, but would like to play tomorrow before the boards are reset and the hall of fame is recorded.

Such a short notice for an event that potentially ruins months worth or a player’s time and effort (I didn’t even have a PS4 until March) is just not cool.

A full 24 hours, or at least 18, from right now (which is U.S. Central 12:00AM), would be really considerate and appreciated.

@stalemate666 By us, I meant the people who comment here. We all know that so you didn’t had to be all smart and stuff. Paying for an update is something Capcom would do. People should seriously stop treating every company that they’re the same as them. Companies have different policies after all. If it wasn’t free, they would have said so like Botzone for Killzone: Mercenary. But they didn’t, so be glad that it is.
